The "guess how this hypothetical place would vote" thread

[bore]

Region: South
Population: 23,000

Population affiliated with a religious congregation: 80%

About 65% R bearing in mind these are rich southern whites.

Also a real place,

Type: Small town
Region: South
Population: 24,000
Race: White (65%), Black (29%), Asian (4%), Hispanic (1%) Other (1%)
Median Household Income: $22,590
Population affiliated with a religious congregation: 48%
Religion (of those who attend services): Evangelical Protestant (44%), Mainline Protestant (32%), Catholic (18%), Muslim (2%), Jewish (1%), Others (3%)

Just eyeing the white percentage I'd say about 65% R

This is a real place:

Type: Suburban
Region: Northeast
Population: 28,000
Race: White (80%), Asian (12%), Latino (5%), Black (1%), Other (2%)
Median Household Income: $140,000
Population affiliated with a religious congregation: 66%
Religion (of those who attend services): Catholic (77%), Mainline Protestant (12%), Evangelical Protestant (2%), Other (9%, mainly Jewish)
Percentage of married couple households: 64%

That could either be a super republican exurb or a formerly rockefeller republican now solidly  (60-70) democratic town, although I'd lean towards the democratic option

You would be wrong.  This is Starkville, Mississippi--home of Mississippi State University--a college town that voted for Obama in 2008.

Interesting, I thought something seemed different with the religious data, but in the end the south and small town won me (wrongly) over.
